A substantial freehold residential building on Cromwell Road, offered as a 14-flat portfolio across six floors. The block totals approximately 6,226 sq ft and benefits from lift access, secure entryphone, and a balanced unit mix (4 studios, 9 one-beds, 1 two-bed), making it immediately lettable to short- and long-term tenants.
Location is the primary value driver: Gloucester Road station, major museums, Imperial College and Kensington amenities are all within easy walking distance, supporting strong rental demand from international students, professionals and short-stay visitors. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal enhance appeal to modern tenants.
Buyers should note material local factors plainly: the property fronts a busy arterial road and sits in a high-crime, deprived ward — these influence tenant type, management needs and insurance/costs. The plot is small for the building footprint, so external amenity space is limited. No flood risk is recorded, and the Victorian façade and high ceilings present period character that can command premium rents after selective refurbishment.
This opportunity suits investors seeking a central London multi-unit freehold with immediate income potential and scope to increase value through targeted refurbishment, reconfiguration of services, or professional block management. Full unit-level information and service history should be reviewed prior to exchange to confirm capital expenditure and compliance obligations.
